We had the opportunity to photograph another Wedding in the South Street Seaport Area of Manhattan. This time it was for Chris+ Carolyn’s Celebrations at The Seaman’s Church Institute.
The day was very relaxed and laid back, Chris + Carolyn seemed to have everything totally under control. They had requested from me a very natural, organic approach to photographing their Wedding. Nothing staged except a few family portraits and some candid photos with their Wedding party. Carolyn didn’t want any preparation photos and they didn’t want to take time away from their guests with a lengthy portrait shoot, so my job was to just go about documenting all the moments through out the day.
As always, I had my beautiful assistant (also my wife) Ang with me. We had a great time hanging with Chris, Carolyn and their Wedding party. They were all so natural and genuinely happy throughout the day. Carolyn looked absolutely stunning, one of the prettiest brides we have photographed and Chris did a pretty good job supporting 
Here are a few photographs from the day.

Daniel + Nikki are a really cute couple. They had a sweet and intimate Wedding at Ici Restaurant in Fort Greene, Brooklyn with about 70 of their closest friends and family. Here are a few images from Nikki’s preparations. As you can tell, the girls were having a great time and I had a fun time as D + N’s Wedding Photographer !

Ok, 2010 is gonna be the year of the blog (at least til next year)! I know it’s already May (man, the year is flying by) but I’m determined to keep this thing up to date with all the stuff that I’m shooting. This is almost the final 2009 Wedding I’m left to put up on the blog! At least now all my Wedding photography will be back up to date and I can start posting other assignments and personal photography I’ve been shooting over the months!
Here are a few photographs from the bridal preparations from Justin + Sarah’s Wedding. J + S aren’t real summer people so they decided to have their Wedding in December. It was a lot of fun hanging out with Sarah, Justin, their family and friends. Our day started with photos of Sarah’s preparations – She had all her girls around to help her out as well as her mum(mom) The curlers and flattening irons where humming away and the champagne was flowing – the perfect start to a perfect day!

I had such an awesome time as Stan + Jill’s Wedding Photographer! They are both such amazing and easy going people. When you take two really great, relaxed people like them who are so in love the result is beautiful!
Jill had all her girls on hand while getting prepared for the Wedding. The air in the Bryant Park hotel room was full of fun and excitement and we all laughed our way through the hair and make up photo session (with a little help from a bottle of Moet 
)
Both Stan + Jill were getting prepared in the Bryant Park Hotel, so I was able to spend time photographing both of them while they were getting ready. The atmosphere in Stan’s room wasn’t much different to that of Jill’s – A couple of close friends some family, beers and a great vide!
Both the ceremony and reception took place at Bryant Park Grill in Bryant Park, Manhattan. A really wonderful venue for a Wedding! Stan + Jill didn’t want to take time away from their guests once the Celebrations got underway. So we decided to do our Portrait Photography session before the ceremony (something more and more brides and grooms are electing to do). We had a great time tromping around Bryant Park getting some really fun photos.
After the ceremony, which took place on the roof of the Bryant Park Grill everybody made their way down stairs for some great food, good drinks and a raging party. Stan and Jill certainly have some party going friends and the music and dancing continued long into the night – that’s my kinda wedding!
Enjoy the photos…

I had so much fun hanging out and photographing Simon + Amy’s Wedding day! They are a really great, down to earth couple – a characteristic guaranteed to produce fun and beautiful photographs, which we managed to capture plenty of. Our day started off early in lower Manhattan, around the south street seaport where both S + A were getting prepared. I love photographing in this area and this time of morning was perfect as the wide, cobblestone-street were still quiet. The cobblestone streets help me to imagine what Manhattan was like all those years ago.
I had a great portrait session with the guys while the girls performed their finishing touches. We had a bit of a laugh and a strut down the alleyways. Once the girls were all ready we spent some time on the waters edge taking bridal party photos and family portraits with the backdrop of the Brooklyn Bridge before jumping on the water taxi over to DUMBO.
The ceremony at Five Front restaurant was great! It was an honest, heartfelt ceremony in the lovely outdoor section with beautiful trees and a big old, rustic brick wall as our backdrop. The reception was inside at Five Front restaurant, so Simon, Amy and I had some time to slip out and take some portraits through out DUMBO while the catering staff got everything prepared. Again, Simon + Amy’s fun, easy going approach to things made the session so much fun and my photojournalistic style really captured the love and joy that Simon + Amy have for each other!
Of course, it wouldn’t be a New York Wedding without some NYC subway photography. So, to wrap up the day the Bridal party and I jumped on the A line back to the South Street Seaport for a fun little photo shoot. It was a great way to end the day – laughter and smiles all around.
